These are the reasons why they asted so long xx

• Barbed wire - Difficult to cut  

• Machine guns - mowed down men with intersecting crossfire  

• Gas - Slowed down heavily-laden attackers. Not so affective in trenches.  


• Shells - saved soldiers from all but a direct hit. Churned up the ground. Destroyed drainage systems and made attack difficult.  

• Railway - Could rush reinforcements to a threatened spot very quickly .  

• Lack of secrecy - Enemy could easily see when extra supplies were brought up for an attack  

• Attack at walking pace - Men could only advance at walking pace  

• Lack of experience - Generals never fought this way before and couldn't think of ways of breaking through trenches  

• Zigzagging trenches - Used to stop the enemy artillery destroying a whole line of trench and to prevent successful attackers being able to fire along a long length of a trench  

• Communication Trenches - Joined lines of trenches  

• Blind alleys - Lead nowhere, used to confuse an enemy and sow them down in the event of a successful attack.  

• Forward Positions - were built for miners and snipers  

• Underground "saps" - tunnels driven under enemy trenches so that explosives could be placed under them and detonated.  

• No Man's Land - Difficult to cross as belts of barbed wire, shell holes and very swampy conditions when it rained


hope this helped! (:

Elena L [17]

The correct answer is letter D

The main pueblos were located in Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico. There, Anasazi society developed from 600 AD until the second half of the 12th century, and at its peak Pueblo Bonito, the region's main stronghold and mixed political, economic and religious center, housed around 1,200 inhabitants - 25% of all the canyon population.
